The programme is co-developed with our BME4S PGR Advocates, who bring their lived experience and understanding of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion to the role.

It aims to create connections and enhance the student experience of our participants.

Our values of community, empathy, trust, impact and collaboration are the foundation of everything that we do.

Our three main areas of work are:

• Access - to help support entry into postgraduate study
• Belonging - to improve the postgraduate student experience
• Empowerment - to build skills and connections

Eligibility

Participation is limited to home Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic postgraduate researchers because we want to address the unique challenges and barriers faced by this particular demographic within our institution.  
“Fostering equality, diversity and inclusion” is one of the Cross-cutting themes within the University of Bristol's  2030 strategy. This programme is part of a suite of strategies deployed by the University to promote diversity and inclusivity.
